Unboxing: July + BIG News

Hey friends, we promise we are going to reveal this month’s unboxing, but first we have some news to share. August will be the last month for Messy Box, Happy Mail will be taking a short break, and we will be discontinuing most of the items you can currently find in our shop. The times they are a-changin’! And we wanted to share a little more about that with you all since you’re a part of this journey with us.

About three years ago, we partnered with Inked, the company that has produced and shipped the majority of our physical products, including Happy Mail and Messy Box. Our contract is up at the end of August and we felt it was time for A Beautiful Mess to switch gears and strike out on our own. The time to spread our wings has come. We have loved working on these kits and we know that so many of you have loved using them. So here’s some good news: First, we are going to be having some BIG sales this summer on all the leftover inventory from past kits. And I mean BIG, AWESOME, CRAZY good sales! It’s going to be first come, first served, and I’m sure we’ll sell out. So if you’re not signed up for our newsletter yet, DO, or else you might miss out! And second, we are going to rethink and refresh Happy Mail under our brand, Oui Fresh, but when we do it will be back sometime in 2018. Hooray!

We actually have a TON to tell you about the future of A Beautiful Mess and Oui Fresh for this autumn and the coming years. We cannot wait to share what we’ve been working on with you soon. Thanks for your support and take a look at what you can expect in your kits this month! Here’s a few photos to give you an idea of what’s in store, and if you don’t want to ruin the surprise, you better skip over the video at the bottom of the post. 🙂Two things that never get old—washi tape and cute notepads!

These colors just scream summer, don’t they? And yes, that’s an ice cream pen. You can read more about Messy Box here.

I’ll miss Happy Mail while it’s on vacation, but I’m so excited to see what comes next! You guys have helped me step up my letter-writing game in a really awesome way. Good luck and congratulations. <3

What happens if we’ve already paid in advance for a long-term subscription for Happy Mail, instead of month-to-month back when this was an option? Will we be getting the remaining box costs refunded to us?
